Oh, this review will be a difficult one.

I was very sceptical about this book. My expectations were even lower than simply low. And for the most part, this book didn't disappoint me. Really, some of the characters actions were beyond the usual level of stupidity. And love triangle was plain embarrassing. If you want to know the depth of my misery than just read the chapter 31. I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about even without knowing what happened before this chapter.

The most irritating thing for me, however, was not even that. I hardly stopped myself from throwing my Kindle when almost after every stupid thing Lia (aka main character and our selfish princess) had done, the other two narrators (prince and assassin, what a pair rolling my eyes) were blabbering to themselves how clever she was.

And now for the strange things. Despite everything mentioned above (and there were a lot of other things, but I would not mention them), I couldn't put this book down. At first, I was just curious, what our “clever” heroine would do next and how embarrassing it would be. But then, probably after 85% of the book, Lia began to change. And I'm very intrigued by the person that she would become.

Also, the side characters hold a lot of secrets and this book only told us that they exist, but not what they are. And I want to know very badly what they are.

Therefore I will continue with the trilogy. Let's see if it gets any better (lucky me, that that the only possibility as I can't imagine how the second book could be worse)
